THQ Nordic Buys Kingdoms of Amalur Franchise

Kingdoms of Amalur came out back in 2012.

THQ Nordic has purchased the Kingdoms of Amalur franchise from 38 Studios.

The company has finalized a deal to acquire Kingdoms of Amalur and the Amalur property based on the abandoned Copernicus MMORPG project.

There's no word yet if THQ Nordic will now work on new Amalur projects in the near future.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning came out back in 2012 and features fast-paced third-person combat. The game hails from author R.A. Salvatore, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston.

We awarded it a 9.0, saying that "if you're looking for bang for your buck, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has it in droves".
